413 red label will work or the silver but then you would have to get the ews delete

hey thanks for the answer.

so there is no restrictions on ecu. just make sure i pick up a vanos ecu 93-95? if so that would be great

[e30s52]

basicly. but if you get the silver label you have to get a chip to delete ews.

Can't you just clip a wire in the harness to delete ews?

I've got a turner chip for a red-label 413 in my silver label 413 and it deleted EWS. I think they may just charge you extra for "EWS delete" and just slap a new label on the chip.

Nope, I think EWS has to do with a chip in the key and such.

Okay: got a 91 318i M42 here that I've installed a 13 button OBC in. Let's say I get an M50 NV to install in this car. What coding plug or other mods would I need in order to make the obc work properly with an M50? Or is it even possible?

I know it's a small thing, but I've got the large things pretty much figured out already.

I have gotten two Silver label ECU's out of '94 cars and they didn't have EWS. Starting in model year '95 they did.

I readed that I can use stick (e30 325is) brake booster and move 1/4in to the rhght to get get the clearance i need. How?

[omar85]

when swapping in an s52 besides the intake mani and wiring harness, what sensors needed from an obdI M50?

[e30s52]

You need all the sensors from an obd1 m50/s50 also the e30 temp sensor.

I am looking to put together an adapter similar to the AKG and Treehouse setup. Does anyone know the part numbers for the two connectors I need?

C101 and X20?

They are made by AMP. I will try and get them for you tonight.

TIA sir. I don't have a problem ordering them through the dealership, I have a wholesale account with them. I just don't exactly know which connectors I need to use and my parts specialist wasn't 100% either so I thought I would ask the resident experts.

Alright, I have read this entire thread twice over the past couple weeks.

First question.

Porsche 944 brake booster. One post says that I just need to cut the rod and it will be good enough. Another post says it needs to be cut and rethreaded.

I want to do the 944 BB due to the cost, and I dont have access to all sorts of welding tools and such.

TIA
